Free Download William Fogg, "Confessions of a Good Kid "
English | ISBN: 1543949460 | 2018 | 286 pages | EPUB | 485 KB
An amusing yet poignant memoir of mischief in post war Southern California. This book details the escapades of a boy and his companions as they explore their sprawling suburban neighborhood without adult supervision, and engage in ridiculous acts of rebellion and sabotage against parents, teachers, coaches, and the grownup world in general. An affectionate portrait of middle class American childhood in the days before smart phones, video games, and social paranoia changed everything. From the early days of TV and rock and roll, through dinosaurs, monster movies, riots, firecrackers, and cherry bombs, to Beatlemania, hippies, drugs, and the counterculture, our hero encounters heartbreak, heroism, and hilarity as he pits his wits against the stacked deck of conservative authority. Is he a "good kid?" Read the book and decide for yourself.

Free Download Paul Howes, "Confessions of a Faceless Man: Inside Campaign 2010"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0522858333 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 0.4 mb
The 2010 federal election campaign had more twists, conspiracies and betrayals than a ripping political thriller. Confessions of a Faceless Man is the day-by-day account of the campaign by one of Labor’s ‘faceless men’. Paul Howes, head of the Australian Workers’ Union, was accused of assassinating Kevin Rudd and installing Gillard in the top job – the King is dead; long live the Queen. Howes writes openly about his role in the leadership coup and reveals his experience inside Labor’s campaign. In an unashamedly partisan and amusing account, Confessions of a Faceless Man chronicles the highs and lows, the stuff-ups, the leaks and the nuts and bolts of a modern Labor election campaign. This is Howes’ first book – an unvarnished, brutally honest, at times laugh-out-loud account of how Labor won 2010.

Free Download Iain Levison, "A Working Stiff’s Manifesto: Confessions of a Wage Slave"
English | 2002 | pages: 150 | ISBN: 1569472807 | EPUB | 0,5 mb
Iain Levison can find work but not fulfillment. The frustration of dead-end, deadhead labor induces a kind of pink-slip payback syndrome as the realization sets in that his college degree will gain him little by way of psychic wages on the job. He is adrift in a workaday world where one human is as good as the next and all are expendable. Meaningless promises abound, "like when they were telling us [at commencement that] we were the future of the world, the bright shining blah blah blah."

Free Download Carl Rollyson, "Confessions of a Serial Biographer"
English | ISBN: 1476663254 | 2016 | 256 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Some critics rank biographers just above serial murderers. The author of this book, a self-described member of the Samuel Johnson school, doesn’t share this view. An account of a life, he believes, should adhere to the truth as the biographer sees it, not to the sentiments of others.

Author and Narrator: Glenn Loury
A shockingly frank memoir from a prize-winning economist, reflecting on his remarkable personal odyssey and his changing positions on identity, race, and belief.
Economist Glenn C. Loury is one of the most prominent public intellectuals of our time: he’s often radically opposed to the political mainstream, and delights in upending what’s expected of a Black public figure. But more so than the arguments themselves-on affirmative action, institutional racism, Trumpism-his public life has been characterized by fearlessness and a willingness to recalibrate strongly held and forcefully argued beliefs.
